Important reminders
Your child needs to be dressed in the proper uniform each day. Boys should have their shirts tucked in and wear a belt. Girls are not allowed to wear any make up (this includes mascara and eye liner), however, nail polish over short natural nails is acceptable. The school uniform code can be found in our school handbook.
MASKS
It is becoming more and more common to see students with their masks under their nose or all the way down under their chin. We do not allow this! If you child does not wear their mask properly, covering their nose and mouth, we will send a conduct referral home. Please remind your child why they are wearing their mask in school. It is only if we work together to keep our safety protocols in place in school that we can continue in person learning. Any student that is consistently not wearing their mask properly will require a conference with Mrs. LeTourneau. Student in grades 4-8 will be assigned a detention for not properly wearing their mask.
Grades 4-8
Your student needs to be responsible to bring their iPad charged each day. As a reminder, they are not permitted to use any messaging app while they are in school. They will lose the privilege of using their iPad if they break this rule. Importantly, if your child messages you that they are sick, we need to know!
Also, phones are to be turned off and put away during school and while in the school building.
Is your child vaccinated for COVID-19?
Traveling out of state? We need to know**...
Domestic travelers to an “Orange state” on the Chicago Emergency Travel Order mapmust adhere to:
- 10-day quarantine upon return OR
- Pre-arrival negative test (within 72 hours prior to return arrival to the state) with strict masking, physical distancing and avoidance of in-person gatherings (separate from school attendance). Any test administered by a 3rd-party is sufficient; however, a self-administered test is not acceptable. Archdiocesan schools should accept any negative test prior to school attendance including tests upon return to the state.
